Town's A-road to close for essential repairs

Part of the A164 Minster Way in Beverley will be closed overnight on Tuesday and Wednesday

A main road in Beverley will be shut in both directions overnight on Tuesday and Wednesday, the council has said.

Resurfacing work will take place on Minster Way, from 19:00 to 05:00 BST on both days.

The work is taking place on the approaches to the Pegasus Crossing off Shepherd Lane and the exit off Figham Springs roundabout, near Lidl.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council said it was investing £310,000 on road repairs across the area.

On Tuesday, Minster Way will be closed from the Lincoln Way roundabout to the Ward Way roundabout.

On Wednesday, the road will be closed from the Figham Springs roundabout to the Peters Way roundabout.

Traffic will be diverted along Victoria Road, Queensgate, Keldgate, Flemingate and Hull Road.

Paul West, the council's cabinet member for environment and transport, said: "Like the other road work being carried out across the East Riding, these repairs to Minster Way will be short and have been scheduled for evenings and night times to ensure they cause the least disruption to traffic.

"Thank you to local residents and drivers for their cooperation while we carry out this work."
